Just wondering perhaps Barella's getting a slight advantage over the others to become the captain because he's Italian.

No question.

Bravo Bare, hopefully your bestie BroZ will follow suit.

Just wondering perhaps Barella's getting a slight advantage over the others to become the captain because he's Italian.

it seems that he is just well suited to this role. He was already a captain of Cagliari and he was very young. I remember an interview from Bartosz Salamon who was Barella's teammate in Cagliari and he said that Barella was already one of the most important player in the dressing room at the age of 18 or 19 which is rather unusual.

No shit. I've been talking about this fetisch for ages but got backlashed by FIF. It disgusts me that we are so alike England when it come to fetisch for your own country instead of the actual skill. Not that I'm actual against Barella becoming our new capitano.

It's obvious that having an Italian captain is inherently advantageous. It's not the same as Falcao's Law.

Thank God this was not thought of when Zanetti was playing for us.

Grande. That’ll scare off the vultures for a couple years.

 

[Strale]

In my case I came around on the issue of local players being captains. If he's talented and, like Barella, a Euro champion, then it makes sense to have a leg up on account of his background. It can help with referees as well, I assume.

Forza Nicolo!!! 2026 baby!!

This fella will be a lifer.

Italy is every bit as bad as England with the blatant homerism towards their own players. The difference is the press coverage they get in England far exceeds any other country and the Prem is the biggest league in the world. Barella and Bastoni are very good players but reading this forum you'd think they're Iniesta and Maldini.

I mean Bastoni is 22 and cemented a first team place in the best team in Italy + a scudetto winner + 9 international caps in arguably one of the best CB pairing in International football, Barella is 24 and was Serie A midfielder of the season.. No one is comparing them to those 2 footballers but there is no reason not to celebrate and hype these two players, being Italian is just where they happen to come from.

Plus home talent should always be celebrated.

There is no need to overexxagerate,literally noone hypes them up as if they were Iniesta and Maldini. Bastoni is yet to make a case for himself to be considered a world class defender, but as Sawyer pointed out, those achievement shouldn't be underlook especially when he's only 22 years old and already an integral part of a Scudetto winning team. Barella definitely has made a case for himself to be considered top player but nowhere near one of the best midfielders in modern football(iniesta)

 

[GenDire]

They are both Euro champions too

Agreed, celebrated and appreciated but please not exaggerated. And I think this discussion was about comparing our players about capitano-material and not about their quality on the field compared to rest of the world. Quality on the field I think we all can agree that they're fucking monsters.

Barella is absolutely unequivocally one of the best midfielders in Europe right now.

Barella is absolutely unequivocally one of the best midfielders in Europe right now.

Based on ability, not rep.

He's still behind Kroos, Goretzka, Veratti, Jorginho, Kante, Kimmich, KDB, Gundogan, FDJ, Modric, Koke to name a few.

What are we basing this on? Nkunku is carrying RBL single handily in both UCL and Bliga, Bellingham is Dortmund's best and most consistent midfielder, again in UCL and BLiga. But no one would dare rank them among europe's elite.

IMO we need to see more of Barella at the highest level.
